The two Republicans are scheduled to hold a pair of town hall meetings focusing on Obamacare in Smithville and Bayville on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the first day Americans can begin signing up for plans on the Affordable Care Act’s Heath Insurance Marketplace.

Perry is also scheduled to attend a rally for Lonegan in Hasbrouck Heights.

Lonegan and Newark Mayor Cory Booker will square off in an Oct. 16 special election to fill the Senate seat that opened when former Sen. Frank Lautenberg died in June.
